Phishing attack is usually done via email because it’s easy for the reader to click on a link and most don’t even bother looking at the URL or internet address they’re clicking. So the golden rule here is never click on a link from an email. If you received an email from say your bank and there appears a link to login to your account, don’t click that. Instead type the URL of your bank directly on your browser. For more information on this particular phishing attack, click here. Don’t know what phishing is? click here.
